There's a noise upstairs, it pulls me back
For a second, I'm not here, I'm there
Laughter in the walls, a door left open
The past sneaks in when I'm not looking
Fading ghosts, they come and go
Lingering shadows I used to know
They're here in the quiet, gone in the light
A memory soft, slipping out of sight
The chair in the corner still feels alive
Like someone's just left, like they'll arrive
I catch myself smiling at nothing at all
Until the silence reminds me to fall
Fading ghosts, they come and go
Lingering shadows I used to know
They're here in the quiet, gone in the light
A memory soft, slipping out of sight
Some days it's easy, some days it stings
The way they fade, the space it brings
I breathe a little deeper, walk a little slower
It hurts less now, but it's not over
Will it ever be over
Will it ever be over
Fading ghosts, they come and go
Lingering shadows I used to know
They're here in the quiet, gone in the light
A memory soft, slipping out of sight
Fading ghosts, they don't stay long
But sometimes I still hear their song
They drift in the quiet, slip through the air
And leave me standing, almost there
Almost there
